GASPERINI'S POST-MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE

Gian Piero Gasperini spoke in the post-match press conference after the 2019 TIM Cup Final between Atalanta and Lazio won 2-0 by the Biancocelesti.

“It’s a pity, but these Finals are like that. In the decisive moment, we seemed to be in better shape, but we lost the game on a corner. It’s a shame. We wanted to keep ourselves focused and ready to go in the second half. We had an astonishing chance in the first half when we hit the post, but we thought and hoped that we could change gear after the break and we nearly managed it. Now we shake off this disappointment, even if we emerge from this astonishing experience knowing we were on the verge of the trophy. It’s not every day Atalanta get to a Final."
